The Circa 68’s material will tap into Palladino’s gift for driving, powerful, melodic rock songs. “The life of my songs starts at the writing process and they start to get legs when you play them with other people and let them connect, or maybe they don’t connect,” he shares. He’s looking forward to putting the songs he’s been working on in front of a crowd, feeding off the energy of his fellow musicians as well as the crowd, adding, “The guys I play with are basically the best I know.” Douglas, Smallcomb and Gabriel also perform in Dustin Douglas and the Electric Gentlemen. He’ll be joined by former Badlees players Jeff Feltenberger (guitar) and Dustin Douglas (guitar) as well as drummer Tommy Smallcomb (drums) and Matt “the Dane” Gabriel (bass). Palladino and company will perform at the intimate Jim Thorpe, Pa., venue on Sunday, Oct. “I’m trying to create content and just put it out there,” says Palladino, noting, “I don’t think there’s going to be a record per se.” He and his band, which he calls the Circa 68, will record their upcoming performance at the Mauch Chunk Opera House, not for a live album, but for a series of upcoming releases. Pete Palladino, the charismatic frontman of The Badlees before the Pennsylvania band dissolved a few years ago, is taking it a step farther. Many musicians wish they could capture the energy of their live shows in the studio.
